don't ferget the rubber!

dps 138

yeah I am using a cad cutter to cut the base material the same machine I used to draw out my shape on wood and plastic so it should be for all intents and purposes exact.

So, I just tacked my edges together at the tip and tails where they meet, with a mig welder on low amperage on top of my wood base mold. I figure it doesn't matter as I already annealed them to bend them. Anyone do this in order to not have that gap? Any probs i just set myself up for as I will be c...

don't cut ur dps'.

wax acceptance/holding power and speed. I guess durability also. I think the 4000 grade is slightly harder.
Never heard of 1000 probably made in china.
Probably soft, might be extruded.
Extruded = crap fer skiing.
Where did you find it, in yurp?

What do these go for?
I thought around $200 but I don't know.-Not an offer as I am poor.

if I don't prebend and I am pressing at like 100 Fahrenheit with poplar will my skis relax and I will have no upturned tip and tail ?

Thanks guys.
The bridge is not flexing just my inability to make the two rails uniform.
Damnit I want it stiff cause it will have a fair amount of rocker. I kinda thought at 138mm at the waist a 10mm thickness underfoot would be alright.

So, the front end ie: tip part of my profiling jig rails are not even. When I profiled there is a 1 mil difference across the core laterally. So it will probably flex differently from inside to outside edge in the tip. Should I a) belt sand as close as I can to make it more even? I'm afraid I will m...

Is that your core?

Thanks G I made one too works great
Your is still nicer.
I put a hole in my worktable and my profiler sits on top of it.

I don't think anyone is worried about deflection reducing the quality of the lamination it's just potentially dangerous.

Your price is high for a deflective press.

I actually have some 1.8mm HDPE that I was gonna use on top to smooth it out. I think it will work? And now that I think about it I believe the molds were screwed togather and countersunk rather than riveted. I remember remarking on that. We should ask Idris to be sure or you could ask Splat, he mig...
